All who Serve

Stone River is my home. I chose this community because I wanted to trade daily chores for an endless vacation. The staff here embodies true hospitality. From the managers, concierge, housekeeping, activities, servers and chef; every team member anticipates needs before they are even expressed. Everyone here is so friendly and accommodating; always willing to help. This is five-star service. I feel so lucky to live here and live like I am on vacation every day.

A Happy Place To Live!

1. 5...We have enjoyed being here . The staff and residents are very friendly. 2. It is always clean in the common areas. Each apartment gets housekeeping every week and every apartment is deep cleaned with carpet and flooring replaced after every move out. 3. As I noted before, both the staff and the residents are very friendly and new people are warmly welcomed. While we are considered independent living, we have both Home Health Care, PT, OT, and Speech Therapy available with insurance on site. We also have a Beauty Salon and a little store that carries every day needs. 5. Our administrators are great and they do their very best to keep up with our needs . We have monthly meetings where our needs or complaints are addressed in person by [name removed] and [name removed] and we get feedback in writing about the contents of every meeting. 6. We have a trained chef and a soux chef. Three hot meals a day and a full salad bar. We also have a grab and go area with fruit , sandwiches, cookies, chips and crackers available 24/7. Also a soft serve ice cream machine with cones and various toppings. YUM! If you go hungry here, it is your own fault! 7. The price for each size apartment varies. If you have dogs, you must have a first floor apartment. It is a pet friendly home. The price is all inclusive, food electric, housekeeping, house Phone line, maintenance, landscaping, etc are all included in your monthly rent. I really like that every apartment gets to choose their own temperature. We have a wonderful , cheerful, helpful activities director! She is amazing and goes out of her way to make sure to have multiple daily activities going on for us. Including weekly shopping trips and lunch outings. We are happy and content with our choice ??

Friendly, comfortable experience living here

Everyone goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. Is by far, better than [facility removed] in Venice, FL where we lived for 2 years. It was nice but Stone River is one step above on meals 3 a day and plenty to choose from salad bar is great. Security seems better then locks on our apts. Hall railing is appreciated. Clean elevators, hall carpet are noticed no odor. Price is more but service and food are better.

Overpromised & Undelivered

Last one mostly a 3 because mom usually only eats dinner, which is good most of the time. They have changed chefs & staff many times. Management has changed at least 3 times, very disappointing. All have seemed to not know how to manage SR, almost like this place (SR) is a training center. We think they over sell the facility. They have a "Chef's Pantry" that is not well stocked. They do not have an ATM there. Hair salon has doubled their prices. My mom pays almost $5000 a month now for her three room apartment with a view of the highway. She does have a lanai. She spends $125-$175 a month on groceries. Mostly cheese and crackers and breakfast items. Things she can share with Neighbors when they get together. Also, it seems they don't deliver meals to the rooms anymore. They have a guest apartments for visitors to use. I have tried several times to rent it when I've gone to Florida to visit my mother. They are never available, seriously. I have called months in advance and I've been told they're not available. And I found out there's only one apartment to serve that purpose. There are many people there is not enough.

Did my homework. Visited 3 Independent Living communities. At 83 years old, I was tired of maintaining my home. I choose Stone River. It is more superior than the 2 other communities I visit 2. We have many activities during the month, the meals are wonderful and the staff is always variable with your concerns.

Been here 4 months good experience

We are in our early 60's (63&62)we are the youngest couple here. A lot of wheelchairs and mobile scooters. Average age is more in the 80's. Some times feels like a nursing home. Staff are top notch. Professional, friendly and helpful! Food is great good choice. Management are amazing make residents and staff feel valued. On the pricey side.
